An example of selling is the Hefty Brothers.  They spout off all the add-ins that are
really going to make your crop.  Most products like biologicals are high margin profit
for retailers. 

Every dollar has to be carefully spent, and with most treatments in the $5 -$15.00 range
per acre this soon adds up to real money.  Farming is a gamble every year as we all know.
Don't bet the farm on it.

Next up, we can talk about special spray adjuvants, micronutrient mixes,
or high priced ortho-phosphate liquid fertilizers vs. polyphosphate fertilizers.  
There is no difference in plant uptake with either one.  That means buy your
P fertilizers on a cost per pound basis.

Agree with a lot of it. You should test and buy micros accordingly vs pre made mixes, unless history of testing and the pre made line up. Agphd should be avoided. Science and data will say buying fertilizer buy the lb is a flawed theory. Absolutely different fertilizers have different uptake efficiency. A pound is not a pound. You can post the data from the 3 questions and now how fertilizer by the pound....I will wait...for a long time


Here you go.  An article from Prairie Grains magazine, March 2012.  This article is about
fertilizers, by David Franzen, long time Soil Specialist, NDSU Extension.
It talks about fertilizer additives and amendments, and addresses biological fixers.
He is well respected in the field, does not sell anything and tells it like it is.
